Unfortunately, many of the linked statistics and newspaper articles are only available in German. Even the English information on the website of the city of Dresden and the Dresden public transport is only rudimentary or outdated.

Visiting Dresden
Q: Where can I find public WLAN, playgrounds, toilets, bike sharing, barbecue areas, skate parks, weekly markets, etc. etc.?
A: In the Dresden themed city map.
Q: I’m visiting Dresden soon, what must I see?
A: It depends on what you’re in the mood for. Dresden has an incredible number of museums, exhibitions, performing arts and 327 hectares of parks and green spaces. The more turbulent nightlife takes place in and around Neustadt, the old town is a bit more dignified (and expensive), and in the south, around the universities, there are a whole series of student clubs. And if you’ve had enough of the city, the S-Bahn takes you to Saxon Switzerland in less than an hour.
Q: How can I find events that meet my expectations?
A: There is a calendar of events from the CCC Dresden, which doesn’t just list nerd stuff. You can also find concerts on Rauze from time to time. And in the cultural calendar you can really find a lot of things.
Q: Where can I get the best Döner?
A: Do you want to start a fight? Let me know when you find a bad Döner.
